  • Patent number: 11829038
    Abstract: The present application provides a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display panel, by disposing a support member between a support column and an organic material layer with a hardness of the support member being greater than that of the organic material layer, makes the support member perform a supporting function for the support column to prevent deformation accumulation of the support column and the organic material layer such that a liquid crystal border is more easily determined. In the meantime, the liquid crystal border is wider to mitigate a technical issue of the liquid crystal border of a conventional liquid crystal display panel being unable to be determined.
